Of course at 24mm-e the effects of shake are minimized. The IS really comes into its own at longer focal lengths.On Paper the XZ-1 should make a superb Concert Cam as its lens is fast even at the long end. However that long end is only 112mm-e so one must sit rather closer than with the Fuji.Additionally I only ever shoot my XZ-1 in RAW, in jpeg the noise reduction is way too aggressive. "Helmet Hair" aggressive at anything over ISO200. The jpeg NR is far less destructive on my F600EXR. Even using RAW I find the XZ-1 noise limits me to shooting ISO 400. The IS on the Oly is Superb, however that does not help with moving subjects as found in most concerts.In the end the F600 wins for Concert Cam duty.</blockquote>
